Foxglove Farm Connemaras
Foxglove Moonshine and Erin's Tullamore Dew (1986, out of Oak Hills Indecision by Spring Ledge Irish Whiskey) with owner Marian Molthan, MD, at Foxglove Farm in Laveen, Arizona in the late 1980s. Molly Brown, as she was called, went to Heaven's Ridge Farm in the Phoenix area. She had at least three foals.
Here are just a few of the Connemaras from Foxglove Farm in the 1980s. More photos of Foxglove’s longtime stallion, Spring Ledge Irish Whiskey, are here.
Doc’s herd included a lot of offspring from Oak Hill ponies bred at Mavis Connemara Farm in Rochester, Illinois (Mavis’ Connemaras carried the Oak Hill’s or Oak Hills prefixes). Those Connemaras were awesome, as was Whiskers.
The photos include some unidentified Connemaras. We will continue to seek their names.
